how many wireless receivers does Uverse support?

i have a wired DVR and 2 wireless TV receivers. i would like to get at least 1 more wireless, or even 2. Obviously i know there will be an additional monthly charge for each box, but does Uverse support 3 or 4 wireless receivers?

Re: how many wireless receivers does Uverse support?

as an FYI, i have 1 room that is pre-wired with coax that i might be able to use and free-up a wireless receiver. Is this as simple as ordering another wired receiver from ATT and using the coax? Or will this require a trip out from a technician.

Re: how many wireless receivers does Uverse support?

my thoughts,

You seem to have the handle on configuration, so here is my question. I have two ISB7005s driven by a VEN501. AT&T is shipping me a third wireless receiver setup - the equipment list included a ISB7105 (right choice according to your post) and a VAP2500. So my question is should I switch out the VEN501 for the VAP2500 or not?

Re: how many wireless receivers does Uverse support?

Are you experiencing any weak bars (less than 3) on current receivers? If yes, could try swapping in case wireless is becoming poor on current WAP or current unit is 3+ years. May also be distance and/or material issues as WAP is on 5G network which has shorter distance than 2.4Ghz networks.

Note, if have a dual band android device, WIFI ANALYZER (has radar sweep icon) would show channel number. If near gateways 5G wifi may want to move gateway channel.

Re: how many wireless receivers does Uverse support?

my thoughts,

I received my equipment, went ahead and associated the new receiver with my existing VEN501, no problem. We have a small house, 5 bars on all three receivers. I'm a nerd (electrical engineer at least), logged into the VEN501 and set it to a DFS channel far away from my other 5ghz APs, has been solid. After some experimentation settled on channel 136, not obvious which adjacent channel is picked up for 40mhz, I'm guessing 140.

I used to use WiFi Analyazer on my iPhone, when Apple nixed that I used it on an Android device. However, I have discovered that the Apple Airport Utility app has a wifi scan function built in, that works well to indicate the signal strength of all wifis in the neighborhood. Apparently Apple will allow their programmers to violate the rules, but no outside groups may do so.

Thanks for your reply,

Richard
